OPERATION

HYDRAULIC CONTROL SYSTEM

The hydraulic control system is composed of the oil pump, the valve body, the solenoid valves and the
clutches and brakes, as well as the fluid passages which connect all of these components. Based on the
hydraulic pressure created by the oil pump, the hydraulic control system governs the hydraulic pressure
acting on the torque converter clutch, clutches and brakes in accordance with the vehicle driving conditions.
There are three solenoid valves on the valve body. These solenoid valves are turned on and off by signals
from the ECM to operate the shift valves. These shift valves then switch the fluid passages so that fluid
goes to the torque converter clutch and planetary gear units.
Except for the solenoid valves, the hydraulic control system of the electronically controlled transmission
is basically the same as that of the fully hydraulic controlled automatic transmission.

LINE PRESSURE
Line pressure is the most basic and important pressure used in the automatic transmission, because it is
used to operate all of the clutches and brakes in the transmission.
If the primary regulator valve does not operate correctly, line pressure will be either too high or too low. Line
pressure that is too high will lead to shifting shock and consequent engine power loss due to the greater
output required from the oil pump; line pressure that is too low will cause slippage of clutches and brakes,
which will, in extreme cases, prevent the vehicle from moving. Therefore, if either of these problems are
noted, the line pressure should be measured to see if it is within standard.
THROTTLE PRESSURE
Throttle pressure is always kept in accordance with the opening angle of the engine throttle valve. This
throttle pressure acts on the primary regulator valve and, accordingly, line pressure is regulated in response to the throttle valve opening.
In the fully hydraulic controlled automatic transmission, throttle pressure is used for regulating line pressure
and as signal pressure for upshift and downshift of the transmission. In the electronically controlled
transmission, however, throttle pressure is used only for regulating line pressure. Consequently, improper
adjustment of the transmission throttle cable may result in a line pressure that is too high or too low. This,
in turn, will lead to shifting shock or clutch and brake slippage.

OPERATION

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM

The electronic control system, which controls the shift points and the operation of the lockup clutch, is
composed of the following three parts:
1. Sensors
These sensors sense the vehicle speed, throttle opening and other conditions and send this data to the
ECM in the form of electrical signals.
2. ECM
The ECM determines the shift and lockup timing based upon the signals from sensors, and controls the
solenoid valves of the hydraulic control unit accordingly.
3. Actuators
These are three solenoid valves that control hydraulic pressure acting on the hydraulic valves to control
shifting and lockup timing.

OPERATION

FUNCTION OF ECU

Control of Shifting Timing

The ECM has programmed into its memory the optimum shift pattern for each shift lever position (D, 2, L
position) and driving mode (Normal or Manual).
Based on the appropriate shift pattern, the ECM turns No.1 and No.2 solenoid valves on or off in accordance with the vehicle speed signal from the vehicle speed sensor and the throttle opening signal from the
throttle position sensor. In this manner, the ECM operates each shift valve, opening or closing the fluid passages to the clutches and brakes to permit upshift or downshift of the transmission.
HINT: The electronic control system provides shift timing and lockup control only while the vehicle is traveling forward. In REVERSE, PARK, and NEUTRAL, the transmission is mechanically, not electronically controlled.

Control of Overdrive

Driving in overdrive is possible if the O/D main switch is on and the shift lever is in the D position. However,
when the vehicle is being driven using the cruise control system (CCS), if the actual vehicle speed drops
to about 4 km/h (2 mph) below the set speed while the vehicle is running in overdrive, the CCS ECU sends
a signal to the ECM to release the overdrive and prevent the transmission from shifting back into overdrive
until the actual vehicle speed reaches the speed set in the CCS memory.
On this model, if the engine coolant temperature falls below 60C (140F), the ECM sends a signal to the
ECM, preventing the transmission from upshifting into overdrive.

Control of LockUp System

The ECM has programmed in its memory a lockup clutch operation pattern for each driving mode (Normal
of Manual). Based on this lockup pattern, the ECM turns lockup solenoid valve on or off in accordance
with the vehicle speed signals received from the vehicle speed sensor and the throttle opening signals from
the throttle position sensor.
Depending on whether lockup solenoid valve is on or off, the lockup relay valve performs changeover
of the fluid passages for the converter pressure acting on the torque converter clutch to engage or disengage the lockup clutch.
Mandatory Cancellation of LockUp System:
If any of the following conditions exist, the ECM turns off lockup solenoid valve to disengage the lockup
clutch.
1) The brake light switch comes on (during braking).
2) The IDL points of the throttle position sensor close (throttle valve fully closed).
3) The vehicle speed drops 4 km/h (2 mph) or more below the set speed while the cruise control system
is operating.
4) The engine coolant temperature falls below 60C (140F) and vehicle speed is under 60 km/h (37
mph), or 35C (95F) and vehicle speed is under 40 km/h (25 mph).
The purpose of 1) and 2) above is to prevent the engine from stalling if the rear wheels lock up.
The purpose of 3) is to cause the torque converter clutch to operate to obtain torque multiplication. The
purpose of 4) is both to improve general driveability, and to speed up transmission warmup.
Also, while the lockup system is in operation, the ECM will temporarily turn it off during upshift or down
shift in order to decrease shifting shock.

DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
The Electronically Controlled Transmission has builtin self
diagnostic functions. If a malfunction occurs in the system,
the ECM stores the diagnostic trouble code in memory and
the O/D OFF (Overdrive OFF) indicator light blinks to inform
the driver. The diagnostic trouble code stored in memory can
be read out by the following procedure.

O/D OFF INDICATOR LIGHT INSPECTION

1.
2.

Turn the ignition switch ON.

Check if the O/D OFF indicator light lights up when the O/D
main switch is pushed out to OFF and goes off when the O/D
main switch is pushed in to ON.
HINT: If the O/D OFF indicator light does not light up or stay
on all the time, carry out the check for O/D OFF Indicator
Light Circuit on page AT188.

TROUBLESHOOTING

 mark means O/D OFF indicator light blinks once every 2 seconds.
X mark means O/D OFF indicator light never blinks.
 marks means the ECM memorizes the malfunction code if the ECM detects the diagnostic trouble code
detection condition.
This indicates items for which 2 trip detection logic is used. With this logic, when a logic malfunction is
first detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in the ECM memory. If the same case is detected again
during the second drive test, this second detection causes the O/D OFF Indicator Light to blink. The 2 trip
repeats the same mode twice. (However, the IG switch must be turned OFF between the 1st trip and 2nd
trip.)

HINT:
If the malfunction returns to normal while a malfunction warning is being output, the O/D OFF indicator
light stops blinking and goes off.
However, the diagnostic trouble code is retained in memory until it is cleared from memory.
If the diagnosis system outputs a diagnostic trouble code even though the O/D OFF indicator was not
blinking, there is intermittent trouble. Check all the connections in the circuits corresponding to that
code.
If the vehicle speed sensors No.1 and No.2 happen to fail simultaneously, the ECM will neither alert
the driver by blinking the O/D OFF indicator nor record any diagnostic trouble code. It will, however,
decide that the vehicle can be driven only in 1st and none of the other gears, so shifting upward will
then be prohibited.
Codes 46, 62, 63 and 64 are limited to short or open circuits in the electrical system comprised of the
solenoids, wire harnesses, and connectors. The ECM is unable to detect mechanical trouble (sticking,
for example) in the solenoid valves.

DTC 61 No. 2 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The No. 2 vehicle speed sensor detects the rotation speed of the transmission output shaft and sends
signals to the ECM. The ECM determines the vehicle speed based on these signals. An AC voltage
is generated in the No.2 vehicle speed sensor coil as the rotor mounted on the output shaft rotates,
and this voltage is sent to the ECM.
The gear shift point and lockup timing are controlled by the ECM based on the signals from this vehicle

DTC 62 63 No.1 No. 2 Solenoid Valve Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Shifting from 1st to O/D is done in combination with ON and OFF of the No.1 and No.2 solenoid valves controlled
by ECM. If an open or short circuit occurs in either of the solenoid valves, the ECM controls the remaining normal
solenoid to allow the vehicle to be operated smoothly (Fail safe function).
Fail Safe Function
If either of the solenoid valve circuits develops a short or an open, the ECM turns the other solenoid ON and
OFF to shift to the gear positions shown in the table below. The ECM also turns the lockup solenoid valve OFF
at the same time. If both solenoids malfunction, hydraulic control cannot be performed electronically and must
be done manually.
Manual shifting as shown in the following table must be done (In the case of a short circuit, the ECM stops sending current to the short circuited solenoid).

When the brake pedal is operated, this switch sends a signal to ECM. Then the ECM cancels operation of the
lockup clutch while braking is in progress.

Pattern Select Switch Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The ECM memory contains the shift programs for the NORMAL and MANUAL patterns, 2 position, and L position and the lockup patterns. Following the programs corresponding to the signals from the pattern select
switch, the park/neutral position switch and other various sensors the ECM switches the solenoid valves ON
and OFF, thereby controlling the transmission gear change and the lockup clutch operation.

MANU mode indicator light flashes for several
seconds and goes off. The driving mode then
automatically changes from MANU mode to the
NORM mode.

O D Main Switch & O D OFF Indicator Light Circuit

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The O/D main switch contacts go off when the switch is pushed in and come on when it is pushed out. In O/D
main switch OFF position, the O/D OFF indicator light lights up, and the ECM prohibits shifting to overdrive. The
ECM also causes the O/D OFF indicator light to blink when a malfunction is detected. In this case, connecting
the terminals in the DLC2 or DLC1 can display the malfunction code.
